Introduction: License management

If you start wallaby.js without a valid license, it should display a popup with a link or a button to activate your license key. Once you purchase a license, you just need to paste the license key and click Activate button if there’s one, or press Enter if there’s no button.

License key

Within few minutes after you make your wallaby.js license purchase, you should receive an email with the license key (or license keys if you are purchasing multiple Company Seat licenses).

For example, for a personal license the email content should look like:

JetBrains IDEs

After you install wallaby.js in your IDE and restart the IDE, or any time you restart the IDE after wallaby.js was installed, you should get the license activation popup. Open the license activation window from the popup, paste your license key in the input field and click the Activate License button.

To view or change the license details you may use the Help | Manage Wallaby.js License menu item in your IDE.

Visual Studio

After you install wallaby.js in Visual Studio, restart the IDE and open any project/solution, or any time you restart the IDE after wallaby.js was installed and open any project/solution, you should get the license activation popup within 10 seconds after you Visual Studio starts. Open the license activation window from the popup, paste your license key in the input field and click the Activate button.

Atom

After you install wallaby.js in Atom and start wallaby.js for your project, you should get the license activation popup. Open the license activation window from the popup, paste your license key in the input field and click Apply button.

You may also press the Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P key combo to show the editor Command Palette and invoke the Wallaby: Show License command to display the license activation window.

Visual Studio Code

After you install wallaby.js in Visual Studio Code and start wallaby.js for your project, you should get the license activation popup. Open the license activation window from the popup, paste your license key in the input field and press the Enter key.

You may also press the Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P key combo to show the editor Command Palette and invoke the Wallaby.js: Manage License Key command to display the license activation window.

Sublime Text

After you install wallaby.js in Sublime Text, you may press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P to show the editor Command Palette and invoke Wallaby.js: Show License command. It will display the license key input field at the bottom of the editor window. Paste your license key in the input field and press the Enter key, then restart wallaby.js.

Expired license

You may calculate the price and renew your existing license(s) to include 12 more months of free updates, or upgrade your existing specific editor license to ‘All Editors’ using our upgrade and renewal calculator.

If you would not like to renew your expired license, you may need to download the latest version covered by your license for Visual Studio or IntelliJ platform based IDEs (such as WebStorm, etc.), then you may use our latest covered version form to get the download link for the wallaby.js version covered by your current license. Other editors will manage the fallback to the latest covered license automatically.

If your new license key doesn’t work

Double check that you are pasting the full key. Sometimes only a part of the key is selected/copied from the order fulfilment email and it’s the most common reason why the key is rejected. If someone else from your company had sent you the key that doesn’t work, please ask them to double check that they have sent you the full key from the order fulfilment email. If your purchased license key is not ‘All Editors’ license key, please also make sure that you have purchased the key for the right editor/IDE.

If after following the instructions above the key still doesn't work for you, please contact us and send the key and the version of the editor/IDE that you are trying to use the key with.
